Can Bag Balm replace Neosporin in my 1st aid kit?

No. Neosporin is an antibiotic ointment. Bag Balm is lanolin based petroleum jelly used as a softening ointment. Its main use is applied to cows teats. I use it to soften and heal my dog's chapped nose.

Years ago bag balm was forced to remove anti-biotic ingredients by fda for human use. is this the very old formula or just junk like others sell?

I have an old(12 yrs?) tin that says anti-septic and a newer tin that does not. The ingredients are exactly the same. There has been nothing added, nor has anything been removed.EDIT: apparently it used to contain mercury, which has since been removed due to the toxic effects of the element. This was not a move to make Bag Balm safe for humans, but rather to make Bag Balm safe for all use. It is still regulated and inspected by the FDA as intended for animal use, rather than human use.

What percentage of lanolin does this contain?

It does not indicate, just mentions the ingredients: Petrolatum, Lanolin, 8-Hydroxyquinaline Sulfate .03%, paraffin wax

Someone mentioned this works on warts? Anyone try this?

It is originally formulated for dairy cows but it works well as antibiotic cream will not remove words but it works good on rashes cuts scrapes and sunburn the dairy farmers use it to put on the teats of cows that have an infection
